Summarizing the GM's meetings in Twitter form, plus ESPN's LeBrun's 'Rumblings'

Panthers will interview Dan Bylsma; Aaron Ekblad likely #1 overall pick
by George Malik on 06/09/14 at 07:42 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Florida Sun-Sentinel's Harvey Filakov reports two important items regarding the Florida Panthers' coaching and draft plans.
First, Filakov reports that the Panthers will interview former Penguins coach Dan Bylsma before circling back to a set of coaches who will speak with the Panthers' new ownership regarding their coaching philosophies...
The Panthers coaching search will pick up steam this week as six front-runners for the vacancy, including fired Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, will meet with the team's brain-trust in New York City, according to a team source.
Other than Bylsma, the other five leading candidates have all met or spoke to General Manager Dale Tallon, but now will also sit down with the team's co-owners, Vinnie Viola and Doug Cifu, as well as CEO/President Rory Babich.
Those repeaters are believed to be Ron Wilson, Canadiens' assistant Gerard Gallant, former Stanley Cup — winning coach Marc Crawford, and Red Wings' assistants Tom Renney and Bill Peters.
While Filakov continues at significant length regarding the coaching search and the Panthers' hopes that they can land one of Brooks Orpik or Matt Niskanen if Bylsma joins the Panthers, this tidbit about the Panthers' draft plans is a wee bit more newsworthy:

Some Thought Crawford Was Done As A Coach
by Paul on 12/17/10 at 01:10 PM ET

from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
Marc Crawford coached his 1,100th regular-season game Thursday night.
That's a pretty good run for a 49-year-old.
And, to be brutally honest, a lot of people thought it might be pretty darn close to the end of the run for Crawford. He seemed to run out of steam in Los Angeles. He looked like a good fit in the television booth in his year off. He took a lot of heat for last year's uneven Stars' performance.
But 31 games into this season, Crawford is looking a lot smarter. His players seem to be buying in. His system doesn't look all that challenging after all. GM Joe Nieuwendyk has made some tweaks to the roster and added a nice complement to the coaching staff in Willie Desjardins. And, to be honest, Crawford has had a year to get his message across.

"You have to be prepared to win the game 1-0 and you don't give away easy chances like we did. We were well in control. It was 1-1 and when you're in control, you don't give up odd-man rushes. You don't go on a shift where you're overextended, sixty seconds into the shift, and then you try to get another offensive opportunity. You give the other team life. That's how you get beat.''
"Teams that end up being playoff teams _ which we're going to be _ they don't beat themselves…and we beat ourselves tonight. It's disappointing. We did it the last game and we didn't have to come in here and rant and rave, because we thought we learned the lesson. But we didn't. Tonight, we have to learn the lesson."

"There is a learning curve that goes along with coming into any organization and dealing with changes that are made, and the acceptance and resistance that's met on both sides of it,. I think we're way further along on the acceptance part of the changes, we're way further along on the understanding of both how we need to play, how we do play, but also understanding the personalities of the team, understanding the strengths of individuals and how they connect in the group."

Bertuzzi's Suit Against Crawford Continues
by Paul on 06/15/10 at 04:55 PM ET

from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
Lawyers for Todd Bertuzzi managed to recover from a gaffe that saw his third-party lawsuit against his former coach, Marc Crawford, dismissed because they failed to file the paperwork to send it to trial.
Ontario Superior Court of Justice case management master Ronald Dash granted a motion Tuesday morning from Robert Ben, one of Bertuzzi's lawyers, which reinstated the lawsuit. He also granted Bertuzzi's lawyers' request, over the objection of Crawford's lawyer, to conduct an examination of discovery on Crawford. But Dash limited the examination to four hours and ruled it must be conducted within the next 30 days.

Crawford Ready For Coaching Return

from Eric Stepephens at NHL.com,
Deep down in his heart, however, Crawford knew the television booth wasn't where he belonged.
"I've been in the NHL a long time," the newest coach of the Dallas Stars told NHL.com by phone. "I really missed not being involved with a team. I can remember one night specifically. It was Vancouver against Edmonton and Edmonton had lost 3-0. I watched Craig MacTavish behind the bench and I just thought, I even missed the miserable feeling of losing and knowing the dejection of not getting the job done.
"I looked at him and thought, 'God, he's dying a thousand deaths here.' I wanted that feeling."

Competition Started Early For Crawford
by Paul on 07/24/09 at 09:45 AM ET

from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
The old backyard rink at the Crawford house was a labor of love – and a haven for hostility.
Such was Marc Crawford's life growing up in a family of nine kids in picturesque Belleville, Ontario, halfway between Toronto and Montreal.
Crawford's dad, Floyd, would work every winter to get the rink going, and would add pieces as the kids got older. Brother helped brother with shoveling snow, hanging lights and constructing wooden boards and a penalty box.
But once the teamwork ended, the competition began.
"Those games on that rink," said older brother Bob Crawford, a veteran of 246 NHL games, "were the toughest games I ever played in my life."

Bad Move Dallas
by Paul on 06/11/09 at 02:11 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
Maybe his former boss in Toronto, GM Brian Burke, and longtime Burke associate Dave Nonis, now the assistant GM in Toronto, whispered in Nieuwendyk's ear about the virtues of their old Vancouver pal and former coach Marc Crawford.
Who knows.
But the one thing that is patently clear is this is a mistake that is going to rest solely on Nieuwendyk's shoulders. And this is certainly a mistake.
The old adage about judging a hockey trade by which team obtains the best player applies here. With Crawford becoming the new coach in Dallas, it is a step down on almost every level from what Tippett brought to the table.
One NHL coach told ESPN.com on Wednesday he thinks Tippett is one of the best coaches in the league, bar none.
added 3:43pm, from Damien Cox of The Spin,
Tabbing Marc Crawford to be the club's new head coach just one day after officially firing Dave Tippett - hmmm, any possibility Crawford was talking to the Stars while Tippett still had the job? - doesn't exactly put a progressive new face on the Dallas franchise.
While young still at 48, Crawford has that odour of "yesterday's man" about him.

It's Official - Crawford New Dallas Coach

from the Dallas Stars,
Dallas Stars General Manager Joe Nieuwendyk announced Thursday that the club has hired Marc Crawford as the 20th head coach in franchise history, and has relieved Dave Tippett of his head coaching duties. Crawford will be formally introduced at a press conference this afternoon at American Airlines Center.
added 11:56am, from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
I just got off the phone with Dave Tippett, and he was philosophical.
"It's just what you sign up for as a coach, and I don't think you can ever let it get to you,'' he said. ``In this business, you have to focus on the job at hand and do it to the best of your ability. Then, if you are moved on, you have to see that as an opportunity. When one door closes, another one opens."
Tippett said he will head to his summer home in Noirthern Minnesota today and will try to take a step back from the situation and breathe a little bit.

Bertuzzi & Moore Meet to Try & Settle Lawsuit
by Alanah McGinley on 12/16/08 at 02:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
From CBC:
One-time Colorado Avalanche forward Steve Moore and former Vancouver Canucks winger Todd Bertuzzi met in Toronto on Monday with a mediator in an effort to prevent a lawsuit from heading to court.
It was the first face-to-face meeting between the two since the infamous sucker punch during a March 8, 2004, game in Vancouver that ended Moore's career.
Moore, 29, and his family filed a lawsuit seeking $38 million for loss of income and damages.
Bertuzzi, who now plays for the Calgary Flames, and Moore attended the meeting with their lawyers, as well as former Vancouver coach (now Hockey Night In Canada analyst) Marc Crawford and his representatives.
Moore's lawsuit names Bertuzzi, the Canucks and former team owners Orca Bay, as defendants.
continued… but no details of the meeting have been released

Growing Up with Saturday Night Hockey
by Alanah McGinley on 09/26/08 at 02:39 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Marc Crawford's blog at CBC.ca:
Like most of you, I grew up watching and loving Saturday nights. Hockey Night in Canada was such a big part of life at the Crawford house. With nine children in the family, great seats in our living room were very valuable and many times the floor was the spot where I ended up.
It didn't matter because we loved hockey, and throw in the fact that we might get popcorn and maybe a glass of Pepsi, it was in my opinion the perfect night.
The broadcast came on at 8:30 p.m. in those days, and the game would be joined in progress, so the big game at our house was guessing the score. All of us would take a stab at whether or not the Leafs or Canadians were up by one or two goals. It was always a thrill to hear Bill Hewitt or Danny Gallivan announce the score.

Coaching Trends
by Alanah McGinley on 09/22/08 at 06:32 PM ET
Comments (0)
From CBC,
"I think what happens is, we're a very trendy game," said Hockey Night in Canada analyst and longtime coach Marc Crawford. "The trend this summer seems to be to go to minor league coaches and junior coaches who have had to good stints and give them an opportunity."
The other trend this season is coaches returning for another kick at the can several years after their last NHL coaching job. Barry Melrose is the most intriguing, taking over in Tampa Bay after a dozen years spent mostly as a high-profile television commentator. Craig Hartsburg (Ottawa) and Terry Murray (Los Angeles) each last coached an NHL club more than eight years ago, while Tony Granato's previous experience ended just before the 2004-05 lockout.
All four figure to survive longer than the last example of a coach returning to the league after a lengthy absence. John Paddock was let go just 64 games into his second NHL stint last season, with Ottawa.

from Paul Hunter of the Toronto Star,
Former Vancouver coach Marc Crawford claims that Todd Bertuzzi acted in "direct disobedience" to instructions from the Canucks bench during the March 8, 2004 NHL game in which he attacked Colorado forward Steve Moore, breaking his neck and ending his career, according to court documents obtained by the Toronto Star.
Crawford, in documents filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, pleads that the Vancouver coaching staff was trying to get Bertuzzi off the ice before his infamous sucker punch on Moore.

Marc Crawford Responds to Firing

Rich Hammond at Inside the Kings managed to talk to Marc Crawford today. A sample:
(on his future…) "I have talked a little bit with my wife and my family. The good thing is, I have two years left (on my contract) with the Kings. That gives me time to think. Having two years to do that is pretty good. You don't have to rush in if the situation isn't right. Quite truthfully, I want to be passionate about the next opportunity. I want to use my passion and give the team everything I have. A big reason that people are attracted to me is that I am passionate and I want to win. I want to make the right decision. If the right opportunity comes quickly, great, or if it takes a while, that's OK too."

Future of the Kings

From Rich Hammond at Inside the Kings, the transcript from Dean Lombardi's press conference yesterday, plus a series of posts where Hammond asks Lombardi his own questions.
Here's more from Lombardi, talking about the natural assumption that the Kings might already have a new coach in mind…
"People can think whatever they're thinking, but we haven't done any research or anything like that. I think we were solely focused on the right fit here, but I think it's safe to say we realize the importance of this hire and I'm not going to hurry it. I guess one indication that we don't really have anybody in mind is that I don't see myself rushing to get someone here this week. I guess if I had somebody in mind, I'd be on the phone signing him right now, but I'm not anywhere near something like that. I mean, whenever you fire someone, a coach or whatever, the thought is always in the back of your mind. `OK, who are we going to get to replace him?' But in terms of us already finding someone and saying, `This is the guy who would fit,' no. We're not even near that."
More from Lombardi's conversation with Hammond here, here, here, here and here.
Also, Helene Elliott at the LA Times takes a look back at Crawford and the Kings organization.

Penalty Killing Underrated
by Alanah McGinley on 06/01/08 at 07:20 PM ET
Comments (0)
Los Angeles Kings coach Marc Crawford analyzes the SCF for NHL.com:
In fact, Crawford sees the penalty killing by both the Red Wings and the Penguins as underrated in this series, and gives his thoughts as to why they've each been so dominant.
"It's been very tactically and technically a very sound, sound penalty-killing series," he said. "And you have to make great plays to score."
Saturday night, it was the Red Wings who made just one extra "great play," and they came away with a very crucial victory.

Crawford Points To Himself After 7-0 Loss

from Inside the Kings,
"This is first game in months we played poorly and we played awful tonight,'' Crawford said. "It was a stinker, there's no two ways about it. You can't mask this one in any way. It was awful and we all have to take responsibility for it.
"I think it starts with me. You have to look at the coach and say hey, these guys got scored on quite a bit early in the game. We've addressed that but we're still having it happen. We can't point fingers at (the players). I think we've all got to look at having some ownership and some accountability of it, myself included, and look at some ways we can address our games right now. From our coaching staff, I can assure you we're burning the midnight oil analyzing and maybe overanalyzing our games.''

"When we say, 'Go get him,' we never look to actually hurt somebody," said Lindsay, who earned the moniker "Terrible Ted" due to his physical play during a 17-year career spent mostly with the Detroit Red Wings….
On Thursday, Lindsay was not alone in suggesting comments Crawford may have made are being taken out of context.
"I say, 'He must pay a price,' every night when I do my broadcasts," said Jim Fox, a former Kings player turned colour commentator. "'Paying the price' is part of any sports world."
Former Canucks goalie and current Rogers Sportsnet analyst John Garrett said if Moore had not been hurt, then Crawford's statements would not be painted so negatively.

The Montreal Gazette has a Q & A with Tom Kostopoulos…
What is the craziest prank you have seen?
"In Los Angeles, I used to switch the gel and the shampoo, and one day Marc Crawford went to gel his hair and used the shampoo. And the way he likes his hair perfect, it was pretty funny when he came out and it was all flat and he was pretty fired up about it. Marc Bergevin, when I was in Pittsburgh, he was crazy. He used to dress up like the other team's mascot before the games, wear wigs or dress up like a 1970s dancer and dance for everyone. He was probably the funniest prankster and craziest guy I have met."

from the LA Times,
This one, in the Ottawa Sun, involved the Kings listening to offers for forwards Alexander Frolov and Dustin Brown in exchange for a goalie.
"There's no basis to that," Kings Coach Marc Crawford said Monday after practice in El Segundo. "Everybody, reporters and probably coaches alike, try to fantasize about trades. They're exactly that—they are fantasies. That trade would never happen. Ever.
"It's a fabrication by somebody saying, 'That might work. They need a goalie. And boy, who could we get that's young and inexpensive?' And those are the names. They look at the salary chart and say, 'These guys are inexpensive. That makes sense.' But it really doesn't."

Marc Crawford Talks Booing

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
However, Crawford thought the prevalence of new media — round-the-clock highlights packages, an endless parade of Internet information — has heightened scrutiny everywhere around the NHL. And in places such as Toronto and Montreal, the attention is so great as to become almost suffocating.
"Truthfully, I think it's compounded, especially in hockey markets, by the volume of information that's available — with blogs, with all the replays, those things become such a big fabric of hockey life," said Crawford. "It's a different environment now than even 10 years ago."

Santacruz, Lujer and Phillips, Peter J. (2009) Are benchmark asset allocations for Australian private investors optimal? The Journal of Wealth Management, 12 (2). pp. 60-70. ISSN 1534-7524
Text (Accepted Version)
Santacruz_Phillips_AV.pdf Download (129Kb) |
In this article we examine whether the benchmark asset allocations recommended by financial planning groups for Australian private investors are optimal when measured against the mean-variance criterion of Modern Portfolio Theory. Using historical data for the relevant indices, the mean-variance properties of the various asset classes are determined. Portfolios containing the various asset classes are formed according to the allocations or weightings recommended by financial planning groups. The return-risk characteristics of the portfolios formed on the basis of the recommended asset class allocations are determined and a simple method of iso-risk maximum return calculation using the Excel Solver command is utilised to determine whether portfolios could be formed that are characterised by the same levels of risk but higher levels of return. These are 'optimal portfolios' that yield the maximum return for a given level of risk. Applying this methodology, the portfolios resulting from the financial planning groups' benchmark asset allocations are found to be significantly suboptimal. On each occasion, a better portfolio (yielding a higher expected return for the same risk) could be found by adjusting the allocations.

Lucknow: Senior BJP leader Uma Bharti on Saturday asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to step down in the wake of the resignation of his two ministers on charges of impropriety saying he was aware of all the decisions taken by them.
He (PM) had knowledge of all the decisions and excuses offered by him and other leaders were meant to save him, she said.
Terming as "childish" the manner in which the entire issue was handled, Bharti said, "Had the BJP`s demand of their resignation accepted earlier, the Food Security Bill would have been passed by Parliament."
Alleging that the UPA regime was misusing CBI to remain in power, Bharti said the government has lost the mandate from the people to rule.
"The Central government does not exist... It has lost people`s support and is continuing only on the support of the parties on whose temples it has put the CBI trigger," she said.
"Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav has accepted this truth many times," Bharti said.
On the Karnataka assembly election results, she said it was the outcome of local issues and the Congress need not feel overjoyed.

Lawrence Rizman was admitted to the practice of law in 1988. On March 29, 2005, in the Dedham District Court, he admitted to having fraudulently used the name and identity of a client to rent an apartment for his family in May, 2003, after having been evicted from another apartment. Subsequent to renting the apartment, Rizman fell into arrears in paying rent, and when the landlord attempted to collect the past due rent from the client, his misconduct was uncovered and admitted. At the plea and sentencing hearing in District Court, Rizman's mental illness was brought to the attention of the judge, and the criminal charge (a misdemeanor violation of G. L. c. 266, § 37E), was continued without a finding for four years with conditions including an order of restitution. The restitution has been paid, and the probation ends on March 29, 2009.
Bar counsel began an investigation into Rizman's conduct in 2004, and Rizman was administratively suspended on December 24, 2004, for failing to cooperate with the bar counsel's inquiry. A petition for discipline was filed on September 20, 2005. A hearing on the petition commenced in April, 2006, but prior to the second day of the hearing, Rizman submitted an affidavit of resignation from the practice of law pursuant to Supreme Judicial Court Rule 4:01, § 15, as appearing in 425 Mass. 1319 (1997) (resignation by lawyer under disciplinary investigation). In his affidavit, Rizman waived further proceedings before the Board of Bar Overseers (board), waived his right to contest the facts or the rule violations with which he was charged in the pending proceedings,2 and acknowledged that a judgment against him, including possibly disbarment, might result. Rizman reserved the right to make recommendations regarding whether he should be disbarred in addition to having his resignation accepted by this court.
When the matter came before me for consideration, Rizman requested that his resignation be accepted. He acknowledged that, by resigning from the bar while under disciplinary investigation, he would not be permitted to petition for reinstatement to the bar for eight years, pursuant to S.J.C. Rule 4:01, § 18 (2) (a), as appearing in 430 Mass. 1329 (2000). He also requested that, rather than disbarment, a two year suspension be imposed as discipline for his acknowledged violation of the ethical rules committed in connection with his criminal conduct. Bar counsel asked the court to accept Rizman's resignation and disbar him. I asked for further submissions regarding Rizman's history of mental illness and its treatment. Such submissions were received and responded to by bar counsel.
After considering all of the information before me, I accept Rizman's resignation from the bar, and further impose, by way of discipline, an indefinite suspension from the practice of law effective on the date of this order. This sanction adequately reflects the seriousness of the conduct, regardless of its categorization as a misdemeanor, but at the same time takes into consideration a life time of struggle with mental illness that contributed significantly to the conduct, and the efforts Rizman has undertaken to overcome the effects of that illness, and to make positive contributions to his community and his family.
1 The complete Order of the Court is available by contacting the Clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County.
2 Rizman also agreed not to contest the facts or the violations in any other disciplinary, reinstatement, or admission proceeding in any other jurisdiction.

COLUMBIA — Columbia College assistant basketball coach Curt Riley put his right arm around Julie Teeple's shoulder as she walked off the court after the Cougars warmed up, 40 minutes before the game.
"I told her to relax," Riley said. "She (thought) she was 18 points away from 1,000 (points) and she really wanted to get it done tonight."
No. 1 Columbia College vs. No. 3 William Woods University
7 p.m Monday at Southwell Complex
Teeple, a fifth-year senior, actually had 979 points coming into Friday's American Midwest Conference tournament quarterfinal vs. Williams Baptist College at Southwell Complex. Still, she wanted to get to the milestone Friday.
It didn't quite happen, but Teeple led the Cougars in scoring with 16 points. Columbia College beat Williams Baptist 68-40. With the win, Columbia College improved to 26-6 on the year. Top-seeded Columbia College will host No. 3 William Woods in the tournament final at 7 p.m. Monday. Teeple will get another shot at 1,000.
Teeple makes a habit of setting ambitious goals and then meeting them. Earlier this year, Teeple notched win No. 100 as a member of the Cougar women's basketball team. Only seven other players have done that in the 11-year history of the program.
Teeple used to be a two-sport athlete for Columbia College. She redshirted her sophomore year after fracturing her right leg playing volleyball for the Cougars. She stopped playing volleyball after the 2010 season. Three years after the injury, Teeple still plays basketball with a stress fracture in that leg.
"It's just something I have to work through every day," Teeple said. "(During practice) I pretty much just do a run-through and ride the (exercise) bike."
Teeple juggles school, basketball and her relationship with her fiancé during the season. She was named an NAIA scholar-athlete the past two seasons. She finished her undergraduate degree in marketing in less than four years. She will graduate in May with an MBA. Throughout the hectic basketball season, Teeple has also been trying to plan her wedding, set for July.
Head coach Mike Davis wasn't concerned about Teeple reaching her latest milestone.
"If she's good enough, she'll get (the additional points) Monday," he said.

When last we left off y'all saw the reindeer ornament like this... I had rolled out my salt dough, and used a rubber stamp, well a few actually, to impress the design into the clay.
I did a few ornaments, and a couple of three dimensional ones that's I'll share with you later, and then I baked them. Some folks leave theirs out to air dry. That has never really worked well for me, so I always bake mine. It's almost more of a dehydration process... they go into the oven at about 225 degrees and stay there until they are as hard as a rock. I usually leave them in there at least 4 hours, more if they are thicker.
Once cool they are easily painted with regular acrylic paint, which is exactly what I did here. My vision for the finished ornament is a red reindeer on a white background... so first step, at least two coats of white paint. And, in spite of my desire to do this quickly, something I have learned over the years is that you absolutely MUST let it dry well between coats. Otherwise, the second coat simply removes the first. You can see the contrast between the ornament I painted white and the other baked ornaments. See those Sharpies?
I outlined the impression using the red Sharpie so that I'd know exactly
where I want to put the glue to adhere the glitter. Yes, glitter...
remember, I've become addicted to the stuff and I cannot get enough of it... so everyone be warned, if you get ornaments from me this year, there will be glitter involved... lots of glitter....
Using my handy dandy pokey tool I applied a line of glue (Elmer's) to the red outline, working in one small area at a time. I will say, it would be better to use a little plastic bottle that has a very fine tip, the sort that you can buy at your local fabric store for paint. I didn't have one, and since it was about 1 am couldn't run out to grab one, as those stores close much earlier. Still... it worked out well in the end.
Then...glitter. Red glitter... red micro-fine glitter...
I like the red reindeer, but it still needs something. After looking at it for a bit, I decided it obviously needed more glitter. So... when the red was completely, totally and thoroughly dried (and you know that is what you SHOULD do, not necessarily what I did) turn your ornament over so that you are holding it face toward a piece of paper and tap the back. Use a bit of force, so that any glitter that hadn't adhered well gets knocked off. added glue to the edges (by the way, I sanded those edges before I painted them, because they just were no where near smooth), and sprinkled it with micro fine white sparkly glitter. Now we are getting somewhere.
Let that dry completely, because in the next step that will become
pretty important. Since the back is sorta rough I wanted to cover it
with fabric. I had this red and green plaid, the green even shimmers a
bit, so thought it would be perfect for it. I spread some tacky glue
over the back. Now... using tacky glue on these ornaments can be a bit tricky. I think it has something to do with the salt content, but very often it just sorta "rolls" off while you spread it. I more or less tap it around so that it is relatively evenly covered, then set the glue side down onto the fabric. You have to give it a chance at that point to dry at least a bit before you handle it any more. (See how many chances I am giving myself here to work on my patience???)
When it's dry, cut the fabric as evenly to the edge of the ornament as you can. I then turned it over (which I could do because it had all dried so well on the front, no re-glittering here for me, nope... no sir-ee) and applied a coat of matte Mod Podge to the back to not only seal it, but help it adhere a bit more to the back. It also works well to prevent the edges of the fabric from fraying.
It's cute, and I like the red sparkles on the white background, and I like the sparkly edges... but darn it, it still needs "something". There's just not enough "oomph" to it... Oh, wait... I know, how about MORE glitter!?!?! Yup... I think more glitter would be perfect. I very carefully painted the white glue all over the top of the ornament and sprinkled on more of the white sparkly stuff.
Oh yeah, this is it... a green ribbon to hang it with (and to tie in the green in the backing fabric), and I've got it!
I wish the glitter photographed better, maybe I'll have to drag out the light box and try, because the photos here don't do it justice. It will be just adorable hanging on a tree reflecting the lights!
What do you guys think?

It's adorable! Who wouldn't be delighted to have one of those sparkly darlings on their tree.
June, have you thought of glue stick instead of tacky glue for the fabric? I've been using it more and more to avoid the very type of issue you describe. - 03 November, 2012
- Eileen Bergen said...
P.S. I got really excited when I saw the Sharpies(I know, it doesn't take much ...).
While everyone else seems to have moved on to the newer (very expensive) art pens, I still love my Sharpies. - 03 November, 2012

I missed this in my blog roll when you posted it. I especially like that you applied fabric to the back. Very cool ornament.

I'm with you, Eileen! I still use Sharpies a lot, too.

The product was certainly as described. Appear to be well made and so far have not had any issues. It appears that everyone else wanted this set too, as it was back ordered for some time. In any case I'm glad I waited and didn't go with a different brand or item.

Transitional, Intergenerational Group Residence
Program design & purpose
The purpose of transitional housing is to provide not only longer term residency to the homeless, but also a safety network of supportive services that provides opportunities to improve educational, social and economic status so that clients may regain independence, self-sufficiency and return to more traditional housing.
Our transitional programs offer a commitment of 12 to 24 months to homeless single parents with children and older adults. Our supportive services include:
Crisis Intervention
Educational/Employment Assistance
Economic Self-Sufficiency
Ancillary Services
Social and Recreational Programming
Collaborative Relationships to Maximize Stability
Back to Top
How it works
The group residence is an environment for several unrelated individuals and/or their families to live in one house, share common areas such as kitchen and living room, and have their own private bedroom with private or semi-private bath.
Our agency operates group residence facilities that house single women with small children and older adults. Through our partnership efforts we are able to offer daycare, mental health counseling and life skills training. Adults have the opportunity to improve their education and employment skills, develop budget management and computer knowledge, and enhance parenting skills. Children are enriched with after-school programs, monthly literacy programs an recreational, educational and social activities. This program strives to provide a living environment for homeless older adult clients and single parent families that will enable them to develop an alternative "family" network for self-help and independent living.
Staff supervises the group residence to assure maintenance, sanitation and safety. Staff is also responsible for the delivery of case management regarding screening new applicants and placing exiting residents in a more permanent living situation. Everyday household chores are the responsibility of each resident. Contractual services, networking relationships and volunteers are available to assist the residents throughout their stay in counseling, budgeting, programming and other special needs.
Who can use the transitional group residence program?
What services are provided by the shared housing center staff?
What is the process for admission to the program?
Individuals interested in the group residence must complete an application and be screened for references and criminal records. If accepted, the resident will be required to complete an agreement with the agency, acknowledging the length of time, house rules and plan of action towards seeking permanent, affordable housing.
What does it cost to participate in the transitional group residence program?
There is a rental fee of $100.00 or 30% of their income, which ever is the lesser, per month to be collected. Single parent families must be employed, employable or attend school. The older adult may volunteer or work, depending on the source of income.
Your rent contributes less than 1% of the total cost of the Transitional Group Residence Program. Private and public foundations, governmental grants and individual donations fund the group residence. In addition friends of the agency donate in-kind donations, services and materials.

County's EMS Manager and Medical Director resign
Linda Diaz, Merced County's Emergency Medical Services Manager, has resigned from her position, county officials said on Friday.
The decision was voluntary, and Diaz is set to work through the end of next week.
Along with Diaz, the county's EMS Medical Director, Dr. Jim Andrews, has also resigned. His resignation is effective March 1, but Andrews has offered his services to the county beyond that date until a replacement is found.
Andrews' position is considered a contract position, officials said.
Although Andrews declined comment, his resignation letter states that he feels it's in the best interest of Merced County to resign "after the recent no confidence vote by the Board of Supervisors" related to the Jan. 29 decision to reopen the county's ambulance bid.
Calls made to Diaz were not returned immediately on Friday.
More details coming in tomorrow's edition of Merced Sun-Star.

Calcium inflow of hamster Merkel cells in response to hyposmotic stimulation indicate a stretch activated ion channel. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9535115 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The aim of this study was to investigate the existence of the stretch activated ion channels in single Merkel cell using microfluorimetric techniques. Single Merkel cells were dissociated enzymatically from the touch domes in the cheek pouch mucosa of 4-8 week old golden hamsters. They were loaded with calcium (Ca2+) fluorescent indicator fura-2/AM. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) of a single Merkel cell (quinacrine fluorescent cell) was induced by hyposmotic solution in normal Krebs solution, while it was not induced by Ca2+-free hyposmotic solution in Ca2+-free physiological solution. Gadolinium ion (10 microM) in normal Krebs solution partially blocked the increase in [Ca2+]i of Merkel cells induced by hyposmotic solution. Hence, this study revealed that stretch activated ion channels existed on the Merkel cell membrane. |

LONDON (ICIS)--Brent crude oil futures extended losses to fall below $100/bbl on Wednesday, pressured by a slowdown in Chinese factories and expectations that the US Federal Reserve will maintain its asset purchase programme.
By 13:29 GMT, the front-month June ICE Brent contract fell to an intra-day low at $99.72/bbl, representing a loss of $2.65/bbl compared to the previous settlement. The contract then edged a little higher to trade around $99.85/bbl.
At the same time, the front-month June NYMEX WTI contract was trading around $90.85/bbl, having touched an intra-day low earlier at $90.62/bbl, a loss of $2.84/bbl compared to the previous settlement.
China's official purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the manufacturing industry unexpectedly slowed in April pressured by falling export orders. The official PMI figure fell to 50.60 in April, down from a 50.90 reading in March. Forecasters were expecting a reading around 51.00. A reading below 50.00 indicates that the sector has contracted.
The US Federal Reserve will release a policy statement later on Wednesday. Analysts are expecting the central bank to announce it will continue its asset purchase programme amid weaker-than-expected GDP data during the first quarter.
Prices were also pressured by expectations that US stock data, due to be released later on Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), will show a build in crude oil stocks last week.For the latest chemical news, data and analysis that directly impacts your business sign up for a free trial to ICIS news - the breaking online news service for the global chemical industry.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a form of arteriosclerosis, more commonly known as hardening of the arteries. PAD is a condition in which the large- and medium-sized arteries that supply blood to the extremities become narrowed or clogged. PAD increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and amputation of the legs. Screening for PAD involves placing blood pressure cuffs on the arms and ankles and determining the ratio between the pressure readings.

In January 2013, we published our investigation into security concerns at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. In the wake of the tragedy at our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, our investigation raises fresh questions about the State Department's ability to protect its diplomats.
In our report, several current and former members of the private guard force responsible for protecting what may be the most at-risk U.S. diplomatic mission in the world—the embassy in Kabul—said security weaknesses have left it dangerously vulnerable to attack.
Sound familiar? In 2009, we highlighted very similar problems at the same embassy, raising serious concerns about the ability of private security contractors to protect our diplomatic missions. Yet, here we are less than four years later, talking about the same types of problems occurring under a different contractor.
It's time for Congress and the State Department to re-evaluate how America secures its diplomatic missions around the world. We should not be out-sourcing the security of our missions in places where there is increased risk.
Tell Congress to Reconsider the Use of Private Security Contractors
Please help us put pressure on Congress to do something before there's another tragedy

Dear [Decision Maker],
According to an investigation by the Project On Government Oversight (POGO), private guards responsible for protecting what may be the most at-risk U.S. diplomatic mission in the world--the embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan--say security weaknesses have left it vulnerable to attack.
